Forged Planing Stop - Plain or Fancy Filed
Forged Planing Stop - Plain or Fancy Filed
Planing stop or bench hook, two different styles, one option is plain forged with minimal filework to clean up the edges, and one is filed bright with a decorative border. A beautiful and useful tool. Standard dimensions are given below- but if you want any of that changed, including if you’d rather have straight shank instead of a tapered one, just let us know. 2-3/8” total blade length, 2’ wide toothed edge, and shank about 4” long. As-is, the stop is intended to mount in the center of a 3” square by 8 to 12” long wood block mounted with an interference-fit in a corresponding mortise in the bench top. For more information on location and installation, check out Roubo’s Plate 11 via Google or Jim Tolpin’s “The Workbench Book”, or any number of articles on the Popular Woodworking or Lost Art Press blogs.
